Streetsmart 4 Youth Touches Chef's Heart
One of the unexpected results of the Streetsmart 4 Youth fundraiser to help homeless young people was the stories that were revealed. Community Foundation staff learned that the subject of youth homelessness in our community touched people in a personal and motivating manner. We learned about restaurant owners who hire youth who have aged out of foster care and waitstaff who have experienced homelessness or who have been foster parents. Together with a community of generous diners they are engaged to help shine a light on this invisible population in our community.
Chef Maurice Afraimi, the owner of Naan and Kabab, is especially enthusiastic about promoting Streetsmart 4 Youth.
